Arguably one of the most exciting events of the summer is set to take place later tonight when the best home run hitters in the game face off in Major League Baseball’s Home Run Derby. Sports fans, who were deprived of the exciting event last season due to COVID-19, will now get to witness Shohei Ohtani take on the 2019 reigning champion Pete Alonso.
Eight players are among the field in this year’s edition of the Home Run Derby, with this season’s likely league-MVP Shohei Ohtani slotted in as the clear betting favorite at 888sport at odds of +250.
